Floocraft has teleported to a new location!
This page will no longer be maintained.

Welcome

Fans of Harry Potter will know that when Floo Powder is thrown into a fireplace, the flames turn "emerald green" and allow the user to teleport between fireplaces. With Floocraft, I aim to inject some of that wonderful sooty goodness into your Minecraft experience.

Floocraft has been downloaded over 15000 times! Thanks so much for trying it out!

What's new in 1.7.10-0.3.1

Locations not being deleted probably fixed

Recipes

Floo Powder (shapeless):

Floo Torch:
A Floo Torch can also be created by using the powder on a normal torch.Note: Floo Torches are, and will be, just for aesthetics.

Floo Sign (shapeless):

Building a Fireplace

In 1.6.4

A Floocraft fireplace must have bricks arranged like this to work:
Any flammable block can be used as fuel.

To allow teleportation FROM your fireplace, throw some Floo Powder into the fire:

To allow teleportation TO your fireplace, stick a Floo Sign on the top:

In 1.7.10

A Floocraft fireplace must have at least blocks arranged like this to work:
Any flammable block can be used to fuel the fire, and the fireplace can be made of any solid
block.

To teleport FROM your fireplace, throw some Floo Powder into the fire. Make sure it's built correctly, or you'll lose the powder!

To allow players to teleport TO your fireplace, stick a Floo Sign on the top and have a fire (green or orange) at the base. Players cannot enter a fireplace with no fire.

Issues

Source Code

Modpack/Server/Video etc. Permission

I can't actually stop you from using my mod without my permission, so if you want to use it go ahead. I just ask that you give credit, don't edit, and please let me know where the mod is being used, as I love to know. Also, I accept no responsibility for any breaking of any aspect of your game through use of this mod! By downloading the mod while it's in the WIP phase, you're asking for trouble anyway...

I love to see videos of my mods, but can't accommodate everyone's videos. The list consists of videos which a) are by very popular YouTubers, b ) explain the mod very well, and c) use up-to-date versions.

Questions You May Have

Will you continue to update Floocraft for previous versions of Minecraft?
With all the exams on my plate... no way! I will only maintain the most up-to-date version, except for the backport to 1.7.2. The latest recommended download for each version will always be available though.Could you add [Floo Powder related thing] to Floocraft?
I won't be acting on any suggestions until Floocraft comes out of the WIP phase. After that, feel free to suggest anything to me, and if I like it, it goes in and you get credit.Could you add spells, coins, house-elves, potions, Bertie Botts' Every Flavour Beans etc. to Floocraft?
For the reason mentioned above, I can't maintain a full-on Harry Potter mod, or contribute usefully to a team, but if you search around, you'll find other mods focusing on other aspects of the Harry Potter world.Is Floocraft compatible with other mods?
To my knowledge, Floocraft is compatible with all mods (except for possible ID conflicts in 1.6).Can I help?
Floocraft is in need of some localization files, as I've only done en_GB and en_US. If you could make files for other languages I would be very grateful.

This is a great mod. Thank you for making it! With very simple redstone, it is possible to make it so that the fireplace resets to normal fire as soon as you teleport to another, so that you have to use another Floo powder to teleport again. I also think that Floo torch is great as a decorative block.

Maybe you should add a wand and a small group of spells, if you want. It's your mod, I mean. I think attack spells with amazing effects, and some useful and defense spells, OH and a fast way of switching in between spells.

Maybe for the torch you could be able to place 1 on each side on a brick and a sign on top so you could teleport that way.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the design of the portal is somewhat limiting as it is, and I want to leave as many blocks available for decoration/as few blocks necessary to make the portal as possible.

Ah, I suspected someone would say this. Thank you for the suggestion, but I only want this mod to have the Floo Powder mechanic, and some other little stuff. Besides, this could never compete with Thaumcraft, Ars Magica etc. In fact I have my own bigger magic mod planned, so I don't want to exhaust my ideas on this mod before I get round to that.

I didn't think fireplaces in the Nether and End would make much sense, because people generally don't just decide to go and live there. As for compatibility with other mods, that's something I am thinking about, but it may not happen for a long time.
I wouldn't allow cross-dimension teleporting through fireplaces; in my opinion the fireplaces are a little too convenient already.
